Last Friday, Lee and I went for the all important sex determining ultrasound. We are excited to say that our Baby J is a BOY!!!! Rex Anderson Johnston is perfect. He wouldn't really cooperate with us on Friday, other than being quite proud that he was a boy. Because they were unable to assess his heart, face, etc. they kind of scared us by saying we needed to be referred to a perinatal specialist to be sure that he was healthy. Needless to say, this caused a lot of anxiety and prayers were lifted up! It was hard to continue to have faith and wait until Wednesday. His heart rate at this ultrasound was 146, which is perfect. He has been moving around much more and we have been having so much fun. We have tried to scan the pictures so everyone can see just how cute he is.
This is us right after we found out it was a little boy!
The ultrasound pictures!
1. It's a boy (you can see his legs and a little something in between):
2. His little (or not so little) feet:
3. Flexing his legs, you see the bones of his legs and his little spine.
4. Top of his head, patting himself on the head with his hand.
Hope you enjoy these. I'll post pictures later of his little face and update how the follow-up ultrasound went.
